Doom of the Savage Kings

[GlassEye]

From the tunnel comes the sound of furious battle between the badgers and the serpent that seems to go on and on. Finally, silence for several long seconds. As the group in the burial ante-chamber consider what to do next they hear a scraping sound then a hiss. A snake, battered but still very much alive, appears at the entrance to the crawlway coiled and ready to strike.

Above, Lizt and Homer sit in darkness lit only by the glimmering of the spear. Homer sees what Lizt saw before, only a bit better. He's able to tell that the fur the spear rests upon is still in excellent condition.

GM: New combat. Everyone (except Lizt & Homer) can take part in the combat and act now.

that didn't last long

Homer - - action at this time per dm

Hank - - summoned badgers?

Franko - - "I hate casting this, it leaves me speechless"

He speaks in a voice that leaves your skin crawling from the gravelieness of it and it brings thoughts of a demonic origin to your mind.

Cast animate rope to crawl over and constrict around the snake.

A snake bursts from the ground and it suddenly turns into a rope. It then floats up toward the ghoul snake to tie itself tightly around it in as many knots as it can.

(I know, how Ironic, but leave it to a jester to to try this)

"Gah!" exclaims the normally silent halfling! he climbs the chimney after lizzt and sees better then the human can.

Lizt jumped when Homer suddenly appeared right behind her. "You died! You're dead! How did y--." Lizt's eyes widened even further. Even in the dim light in the burial chamber, Homer could see the fear-addled whites of her eyes. Lizt clutched her short sword and shakily held the blade in front of her, warding off Homer. "Get back, demon!"

"I think that was a grue and it tried to eat us"

Lizt blinked. The other ghoul hadn't uttered a word. Was this really Homer, alive? And not another ghoul? "Homer?" Her voice wavered. When the Halfling said "ow," realization landed on Lizt like a brick. "You're alive! How?!" Lizt leaped forward and started patting down the Halfling, checking for injuries. When the sounds of battle between the badger and the thing from the ghoul corpse--whatever it was--filtered up from down below, Lizt snapped her trap shut and hushed Homer. "Shhh!" She carefully crept as far away from the crawlway hole and the skeleton in the burial chamber as she could. Soon enough, Lizt succumbed to shock. Her shivering set in anew. She huddled in a corner, hoping trouble passed them by this go around.

After a half minute or so, when only the faint sound of something scraping came up from the crawlway, Lizt waited another few moments, then motioned to Homer. She pointed at the crawlway hole, gesturing silently but crazily that something was down there.

To the perpetual and insistent interrogation of poor little Homer Green thumb, Homer flinches, His greatly articulate response of earlier is repeated with his hand on his head, "Ow."

Then Lizzt shushes him and he sighs softly, but hears the scraping from below. He moves away from the hole with wide eyed fear in his eyes.

The summoned rope loops and twists and binds the large snake until it is completely incapacitated. The unbalanced snake tumbles from the crawlspace to land on the floor of the burial antechamber with a thud. Though it cannot even move it hisses its extreme displeasure. A few strikes of the blade and the snake lies dead and the group can discover the fate of Homer and Lizt.

OOC: Finally! something works right!

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Lizt stuck her head down into the crawlway. She looked to see where the snake had gone. When she didn't see the thing, she hesitated, then withdrew back into the barrow with the skeletal king and Homer. "Are you well enough to try to get out of here? I don't think the hole to the burial chamber is all that far. Can you crawl?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Yes" He glances back at the skeleton, "And if that skeleton starts moving, I can out crawl you!"

OOC Lizt has the spear, right?

OOC: No one has touched the items in the burial chamber.
